' feet to be trampled on at her girlish pl
are. '1 bad but . poor health then, aud this
was ono source of ltiinette:a merry say-
.1.W4 mOvedluto thedimly lighted:build
ing which surrounded the tent, and look
ed in at;the performance.
".The circus is crowded; Ninette whis
pered, as she sauntered, out with me. " I
ht rdly everiremember our having such a
crowd, Ricardo." . .;
" And - I _hops- we never shall hare it
•tiNt
ut in," I panted; unbuttoning my coat.
".The place- stiffing." •
Oh, boppoor we. shall," she laughed,
mirrily; "I should like to see, hundreds
turned away from the doors, and no room
left inside even for one child more." • •
I went into the ring-amid the. deafen
ing applause °litho - crowd; and bowing
sligittlyoralked conly across the ring. I
thought :nothing of the mass of faces ris
ing in rows, but ; I remembered that Nin
ette could see me, and that she had said I
was helping.in a:good cause. I
' lett:that
I had performed, as I had hardly erer.per
formed before, and the long applause was
again and rk,gaut renewed as I left the ring.
What ; would Nicette sty? Would' she
congtattiliite.me Passing through ,the,
dimly lighted building outside the tent"
where the horses-waited, I caught sight of
two figures standing aside in the shadow I
—Ninette and w gentleman, an army offi
cer whom hattmet - that inorning , —talk- .
in low. and earnestly.. I had often
_no.
ticed .hint ;in the circus, and_noticed his
evidentadmiration of Ninette, still I had
never seen him out there among us before,
and I started as I came up to them in the
gloom y Ninette carelessly turned her
eyes. upon me for a moment, then went
on talkury; cogitettishly and flippantly,
it seemetta me; I took her-horse from
irtmAravhrinfirte, it-forennr4;
I led it toiraid her.
" Are you ready, Mtle. Ninette I." I
asked, my voice trembling against my
"Ready?" " Why ?" she inquired,
with slow contempt.
"Allow. .0, pray allow me, Mad
emOiselle," exclaimed the stranger, start
ing forward. And Ninette, smiling, put
her foot into his hand.
Seating herself in the saddle with the
utmost ease, she carelessly, as it seemed,
backed Black Hawk against me. "Sig
nor Ricardo," she said haughtily, " is this
the spot where the gentlemen of our com
pany usually rest between their exercises
in the rine? , An ironical answer rose to
my lips, but I withheld the words.
"Brand back, if you please, Signor.
Muit you always follow me ? always haun t
me? Stand back." •
With a quick change of voice and a
bright, shy smile, she bent to take her
little gilded . whip as the officer handed, it'
to her.
Monsieur lo Capitaine." And
while she bent gracefully,. and seemed to
be -only 'stroking the neck of the splendid
black horse, she reined him in skilfully
'and imperceptibly, until he touched my
shOulder. .
I turned away without answering; and
for the first time Ninette performed with
out my eyes following ' , hr. graceful mo-
Sens. The strange gentleman moved to
the opening
. into the tent, but when she
rode back, flashed and triumphant after
her strewn; he oink forward again eager
ly,- She . drew tip,her lithesome little fig
ure with a dash of odd pride, and turning
Black Hawk rapidly aside, sprang tothe
ground unassisted. Her Part was played
for th4t night, and. while the loud clap
ping twithin was continued, .sbe. walked
slowly out into . • the, darkness; her long
crimson habit over heinixd, her little tap
pushed.fromher bright; excited face, and
her eyes raised 'tithe young . officer' who
walked - beside her • , '
- •
After that, all is a burning . confusion
in my bruin until one evening whenl
awoke to consciousness in the hospital for
which I had .beeh performing, and heard
the - physidians (who had seen me fall;find
bad attended pityin.'ly upon me ever
since) Whisper that all would be well in
time.
Ilicario;dea"' - r fellow," said the mana
ger, coming forward - softly, and beading
to whisper to me,." Thank God,
_all will
he' well. •Thi Worst ts
I hardly lcti r ow when the knowledge
dawned upon Me, or - Wit' ; but as I lay
there—my old companions clustering
tioundlne—l kheur that I bait performed
among them fot the last time. I knew
that life had Most wonderfully and trier
cifully been spared tie ; but that I should
never walk na,aans. I , do not remember
that the knowledge cable with any sharp
or bitter pain ;• think , it was a quiet;
han,eless conviction from the first. They
ha&gicen mesa sraralb room. in the bilspi
tal to myself flierhaps to spare otherstho
sight of my anffentig; paFtly,- perhaps,
because I had hurt Tayseltan their cause..
'So the days sad nights passed on; and
slowly bronghtme a little ease at last.
• Onemorning,::Monsieur. entering my
Yoom with a brighter face than nsual, told

:the blood rush into my wan face as Ltook

"Oh 1' do not venture it, Ninette," I
whispered, appealing to her in bitter ear
nestness." " gay-yonwill not."
" No—for I must, she answered, laugh
ing lightly ; though' she spoke with odd,
steady quietness.
Then I covered My eyes with my feeble
hands, and let the tears ttpw on.
" I shall come in you before the
performance; . Ninettertaid, after a little
dismal pause. "Will you, Ninette?',' I
asked eagerly, as I battled with my cow
ardiee. " pen come in just as you
go ?"
"I hardly tinow.atiout that," she an
swered, with a quaint, shy smile.
Monsieniliad left.the room then, and
Ninette was standing opposite Me,. about
to follow him.

" Ninettc," aid; slowly, as'l feasted I

you thatyou wore old black habit,

plume almost touching the ground. And
however I have seen yoti since, you have
always been to me as you were that day—
and you always will be, dear."
'"I remember that old velvet.habit,"
she laughed.'lt is a siiperannuated-ar

"Just what I think. now."' ,

into my silent room, and then I lay and;
listened breathlessly, furl knew she mast

could scarcely catch the light step. - With-:
out a word she shut the door behind her.
Then she, stood. looking at me ; her red
lips parted with
-an irrepressible smile, and
her eyes brimming-ores withfun. Dui
she was clad in. no gay, nnnsual : dress;
she stool there holding up in one.band
the old black habit; from the other dang,-,
led the. littl4 hat with. its scarlet pluthe •,
and her head was only crowned with its
bright, fair curls.. .

weak fingers on the eolt curls, one deep

when she rose, her eyes were Very bright
behind their glistening lashes. She did
not say a word of farewell to' me. With
a strange, brave, struggling smile, which
would have vanished with a word, she
hesitated a moment; her cheeks flushing,
and her lipi . wistful. .Then quite sud
denly, with just the slight gesture with.
! which she acknowledged the plaudits 'of
the crowd, she left me. - . .
• I lay and listened as the carriages rolled
past the infirmary gates; and presently,'
across the river J could hear our own
! band strike up merrily.:! , I could follow in
fancy the whole performance as I lay with
the programme before ine,:and the well
known airs to gnitleine. At last, with a
quickened beating of my heart, I felt that
the time aria come for Ninette's appear
ance. I knew the very tune with which
the band would greet her. Ah! there it
awl.; biitilrowned almostia_a loud pro,
longed, applause. Then—knowing she
was performing—l lay there quivering in
-every limb.
It was just as one of the hospital phy
sicians and a nurse came Into my mom,
that a great shout rose on the, other side
of :the river, and rolied'levonslyacross to
me. My blood burned in my veins
" That is to greet her after her leap," I
said, speaking aloud - and rapidly in my
intense relief, "Thank God; it is over."
"I, too, am glad it is over," said the
physician gravely; "such a feat should
never have been etterepted.".
4 And yet everyone has gone to see it,"
I' 'answered Passionately, as the nurse
turned my pillow. "Why did they en
courage her?"
'Such.things would be done a', any',

• " Listen !" I cried, in sudden terror,
pushing away the nurse, and starting! up,
with parting breath. "Did the band stop
then—suddenly? Hark! it is all silent.
I remember faltering incoherent ap
peals to be taken to the circus; and I re
member how they tried to soothe me, lay

down the blind before my wild and star
